 their own and their neishbors' inter ests. We write "present prosperity, because no efforts of individuals CT class, either affirmative or negative, can stay the future growth of the town. It may be stayed for a time but it is inevitable. It is truly in- comprehensible how those whose wei fare directly hinges upon the develop ment of the resources of the county, can sitsupinely quiescent, moving upon the surface of events like drift wood, elogging the stream of prosperity and only to be stirred to animation when the flood comes and piles them upon the banks out of the way of progress.
 The welfare of every man of busi- ness and occupation must increase in the ratio of the country's development. Merchants, professional men, artisans, mechanics, laboring men, mauufactur- CTS and corporations derive their we'll being and sustenance from consumers. The greater the demand the greater the supply required. Therefore the more rapidly country fills up with population and develops its wealth,
  whether mineral or agricultural, the niore rapidly are supplies consumed, and the greater the prosperity of the producers and suppliers.
 If every man, of the class mentioned above, resident in Yuma county, would lend his energies of voice and action in aid of. proper advertise ment and ventilation of the resources of the county, the result would be an increase of wealth and individual pros perity surprising in it's extent Hith- erto there has been neither unity nor even animation in the responsible ppople of Yuma county. In fact there has been (and we regret to record it) an apparent tendency in the manner and acts of leading men, to set back the welfare of the county through motives of sensaloss jealousy of bus; HESS and political rivals. There seems to have been q detcr:nined policy on the part of mon, whose intelligence aud sansp ought to have taught them better, to ''cut eff their noses to spite their faces," and thay have generally succeeded with a result hardly pleas ant. The sight of lo5 of figuratively mutilated idiots dancing around their own financial disaster is not conduc- i've to comfort noy is it attractive to would he investors.
 There is another class of people that might be characterized as con l tcmptible inconoclasts-men who pass the majority of their time sprawling on benches in front of saloons spewing i up malicious attacks on enterprises 1 they never had brain enough to under stand. Such men deserve no notice because they can do no harm except | with those whose lack of sense would | make it undesirable that they locate among us.
 Earnestly we urge upon all to aban- don the miserable policy of the past, and unite in an effort for the common good. Let us join hands in the ad vertisameut and advancement of the resources of this great county. Let us make it known to the outside world | that we have the finest climate and | the best fruit-belt ia the United States that there are sixteen canals under construction between Yuma and the i county lfne-tha5 here thrive the or ange, lemon, llme, olive, grape, pome- | granate, banana and nearly ali other fruits-that vegetables grow the year 'round-tha5 the Gilavalley produces the finest wheat in the world-that there is no snow, no ice, no frost to kill, no dew to- rust, no bizzarls, no cyclones and ID malaria-that all our fruits ripen six weeks earlier than in California-that the records of the Land office shov that 100000 acres have been entere l the last eight months and there is a lot more left for the set tier.
 Dn this and you will be at the head of the procession, bat do as you have done and you will be deservedly crowd ed to the wall and left there to be tramplei on and forgotten.
 If anything was necessary to indi- cate thoroughly good management oa 1 l.
